all nice and good, but we still don't exactly know why these desperate people attacked whitechapel.... dropping mortar shells seems like a strange way of asking for some aid... *the maggot bunny image still haunts me*

I'm guessing after being in an almost tribal environment for that long, they thought the only way they could get food is to attack the other village. From what we've seen so far, Whitechapel is the only place that has a still fairly civilized society.

Normally, I wouldn't have expected a "swamp monster" to be in Freakangels, but that picture, along with the "we punched a hole in the world" line, makes it more possible. Maybe they punched a hole in the world that led to (and from) someplace else? Perhaps someplace Bad...

It feels redundant to tell you how great it was, Warren and Paul, but it was. I am consistantly pleased with FreakAngels and that is a wonderful new experience in comic/graphic novel reading. I can't wait for the second volume to come out so I'll have more "Staff Recommendations" to give to people. Anyone browsing graphic novels gets told they need to check out volume one... Thank you, and keep up the great work!
